The Crimson Tide Open started as a tribute to former Alabama golf coach Conrad Rehling. Rehling coached the Tide from 1972 to 1988 and was instrumental in moving Alabama golf into the national landscape. The coach led the Crimson Tide to its first SEC Championship in 1979 and won Coach of the Year twice in the league in 1979 and 1983. Rehling was inducted into the Golf Coaches Association of America Hall of Fame in 1980.
